Features of Tools to Replicate Data from SQL Server to Snowflake Snowflake is a comparatively new cloud-based data warehousing solution. Many inherent benefits of Snowflake have led organizations to replicate data from Microsoft SQL Server to this platform.There are several available tools to replicate data SQL server to Snowflake but while choosing for your organization, know the features that the top-of-the-line ones should necessarily have. Here are a few of them that you should check for.
The selected tool should be able to quickly and efficiently replicate massive amounts of data from SQL Server to Snowflake.
This is where most tools fail to produce the desired results. • Choose a tool that is fully automated and does away with the need to set up connectors and pipelines for replication. It should automatically transform, merge, and reconcile data from a point and click interface.• The tool should be user-friendly and the Database Administrators should not have to be continually involved in the replication process.• Being able to continually reconcile data in Snowflake or at a frequency of your choice is an essential feature of an optimized tool. It should perform checks for complete datasets and compare column checksums and row counts at a granular level.
• The preferred tool to replicate data SQL server to Snowflake should not carry out full data refresh to update destination data with changes at the source every time. Instead, it should utilize SQL SERVER CDC to Snowflake and use database transaction logs to query SQL data at the source, copying the modified data to the Snowflake database only.Check these features before finalizing a tool to replicate data SQL server to Snowflake.
